Semi-Automated Metallic Waste Segregation System

Abstract

The important challenge faced by developing smart cities is the processing of waste materials. The increasing amount of WEEE (Waste of Electrical and Electronic Equipment) makes their disposal a difficult situation to handle. WEEE is an economical instrument as the wastes consists more of key metals which are economically valuable. Due to separation of different types of key metals available and the restoration of the key metals being difficult the disposal of WEEE becomes hassle. The aim of this paper is to separate the key metals from the waste, weigh them and credit the corresponding amount to the particular citizen who disposes the waste.
